duration

Governor Janet Mills issued an executive order last week that
indefinitely extends expiration dates on all vehicle inspection stickers and
registrations, as well as driver’s licenses and state IDs. Expiration dates are
extended until the state of emergency caused by the spread of coronavirus in
Maine is lifted.

Included in the order are all driver’s licenses, permits, state identification cards, commercial driver’s licenses, dealer licenses, salvage motor vehicle recycler licenses, driver and rider school licenses and instructor licenses. In addition, the Maine State Police, which is responsible for overseeing Maine’s annual vehicle inspection program, is also extending expiration dates on vehicle inspections and registrations, and temporary registrations, for the duration of the state of emergency.

The order issued last week extends a similar order issued on March 15. Maine police departments have been directed halt enforcement of expired vehicle inspections as well.
